    Gardening Tips and Tricks

    I was not born with a green thumb, but it gets greener every year!  I grew up in Michigan, where you could practically throw seeds on the ground and they would grow.  Now I live in the desert where gardening is tough!  Fortunately, I come from a line of great gardeners, and I'm always looking for better ways to get a good crop.  Join me on my adventure with square-foot gardening in the desert!
